In the winter of 2008, PEP teamed up with Lake Research Partners to execute a national quantitative research project to explore the attitudes, behaviors, and civic engagement of African American, Latino, and Asian Pacific Islander women between the ages of 16 and 25 in the United States.

Our goal was to identify the extent to which young women of color felt connected to their communities, the issues that were important to them, and what they were doing and would do to take action on those issues. In addition, we sought to understand how young women felt about their sexual experiences and sexuality and how that connected to their overall reproductive health.
